I'm a slacker.....

I always have the best of intentions, but it all goes back to the time conundrum I consistently find myself in. I have gotten a few fantastic quotes recently that once again I am checking myself for tracking chips to see if someone besides myself is in my head.....

"Take the first step in faith. You don’t have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step." Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

For me this means faith in people and comes at a time where I was givin a proposition to see someone from my past. My far away past, but also the reason I am here today. Confused yet? It is confusing and personal, but I suppose the time has come to see this person and see if there is a chance in the land that there is a relationship to be had. To all those really trying hard to think......not an exboyfriend or friend for that matter. A person that played a major part in my life until about half way through and then they were gone. The reasons and situations surrounding the dissappearance are there and each party holds different reasons for the way they have handled it. Mystery person in my early life taught me skills, stubborness, and always showed love. Years after and only in their absense showed me strength, independence, and appreciation for those around me that always have and always will be behind me. There are a lot of negatives learned and lived too, but with my new positive lease on life the last year or 2, I find it hard to dwell on those moments. My anger has turned to pity for what this person has missed, for the lonliness they must feel on the holidays, and the lack of familial relationships they have retained. People who have the ability to "dissappear" often repeat actions, which this person has also done. The others have come to terms with this and have lived better lives for it. For me I guess there is a little more closure needed. To be honest, I don't know if its closure or the glory of "you were wrong about me and everything you think about my life." I love hearing stories of people that thought they knew me and then get to know me. So as for this person, we shall see.....no time no place set, but I think it is in the cards for me and I think its time. So on all this I suppose the next quote sums it up nicely.....(I told you these people are following me!)

"Let us not look back in anger or forward in fear, but around in awareness. "
— James Thurber

If we are aware of others strengths and weaknesses, we know what to expect and will never be dissappointed because even if you know whats coming isn't what you want, you expected it, and were prepared for it.

Discover Yourself to be a Greater Person

"When you are inspired by some great purpose, some extraordinary project, all your thoughts break their bonds. Your mind transcends limitations, your consciousness expands in every direction, and you find yourself in a new, great, and wonderful world. Dormant forces, faculties and talents become alive, and you discover yourself to be a greater person by far than you ever dreamed yourself to be." Patanjali


Just what I needed!!!

The Ultimate Joys of Parenthood

We all know that when you get woken up at 2am it's never good news. So my Haley (she's 6) comes in at 1:50am exactly. "I'm sick." My response are you going to or did you already....she already did. Did she make it? Nope. Ok so talked myself up all the way to the bathroom. I can do this. Just cover it and pick it up.....so about 5 minutes later I wake up my husband who was good enough to get up and clean up. Yuck, I shiver just thinking about it - ewwwwwy. So it was one of those bugs - yack all night....so lucky me got to sleep while my hubby stayed up with her on the couch and took care of his little girl.


The rest of us get up at a normal hour and Ashley seems to be fine. So I have a few errands to run, I decide to take Ashley to get her out of the house and away from the diseased one. I pick up my Mom to join the venture and we get on the highway. I won't describe the sounds we heard next, but Pumkin muffin is not pleasant on it's way back out.

Rushed home - threw her in the shower and now we had 2 down and us still standing. Now we have everyone up and running (well sleeping, but calm and stable). If I am up later this evening, I'm not gonna be a happy camper, so keep your fingers crossed for me and Andy!!! I'm hoping I have sprayed enough Lysol today to kill anything that isn't supposed to be here or on my body......we shall see.....

.....Just one of those days I guess..........

Another Day...but a productive one!

Sooooooooooooooooooooooooo tired. Pics to come tomorrow - got LOTS done today and more to do tomorrow. Pics coming tomorrow. Too tired. Etsy shop registered just need banner work and listings and we are good to go. Can't leave you without a good daily quote, that would be inconsistent of me.....
